The Linn is fuller sounding than the TD 166II and more communicative and easy on the ear than the Thorens TD320. Now it is siting on a Target AER3 rack with very satisfactory results and no problems. I have used the Linn on a coffee table and on Target TT2 table, and although it presented differences it never really was too unhappy. I have owned Thorens TD 166 II and 320 which are suspended subchassis and both were much more critical of the surface where they were siting than the Linn. It goes well with classical and jazz but I think it would also be good with rock and pop. It's very euphonic and unfussy, always sounding as if everything is ok. The Basik is a very natural sounding record player, capable of communicating all the important aspects of the music being played. In all, the Linn Basik turntable is in my opinion an underrated turntable which deserves more respect for what it is really capable of. Regarding the arm, the Linn basik Plus is a great arm with no play or friction in its bearings. ![]() After your listening session, I am certain that you will choose the Linn. Listen to the album Procol Harum live with the Edmonton symphony orchestra on both turntables with the same cartridge. The comparison between both turntables is easy to do, here is a suggestion. I don't agree with this argument because if you use a detailed cartridge such as a Denon DL-110, you will get plenty of details and nuances from the Linn Basik. Some people say that the Linn Basik is less detailed than the Rega Planar 3. Michell Tecnoarm, and it costs less! The main qualities of the Linn Basik are dynamism, warm atmosphere, firmness and smoothness. ![]() What a musical machine it is! It performs better than a Rega Planar 2 with a J.A. I bought a used Linn Basik turntable with a Linn Basik Plus arm in fall 2010. ![]()
